INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Zucchini
1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1 tbsp Pine Nuts
2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Grill the chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Once done, let it rest for a few minutes and then slice into strips.
Using a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler, create noodles from the zucchini. Place the zucchini noodles in a large bowl.
In a food processor or blender, combine the fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, garlic, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until a smooth pesto forms. If needed, add a teaspoon of water to adjust the consistency.
Toss the zucchini noodles with the fresh basil pesto until evenly coated.
Plate the dressed zucchini noodles and top with slices of grilled chicken. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of Parmesan or basil leaves if desired, and enjoy your nutritious meal.
